Our Solid Banking System.

The st. John lank failure serves to bring out the
contrast between the banking systems of Canada
and the United States. Had it been Il Bangor or
Calais bank the value OF the bills would have been
unaffected and holders would have suffered no
loss But the bills of the Maritime bank are not
secured by the deposit of securities with the
government, and the consequence is that whoever
is caught holding them loses p or 50 per cent or
possibly more, according to the degree of the fail

A HERO OF TIE REVOLUTION WHO LIES
BURIED IN STOCKTON.
The citizens of Stockton at their annual town
meeting, March II, appropriated sum of
money to mark the grave of Joseph p. Martin,
soldier of the Revolutionary War. The
amount voted is sufficient to erect good monl-

The headstone which marked his grave was
recently blown down and broken. 1t bore the

4 Live Baby in an Ash Cart.

a basket which pCO,ruded from he load

was tilted, and as its contents were

Wrapped up in a shawl ard a multiplici-

The route of the cart by which the
ljtJle one arrived ~ the dump lies along
Twelfth street, but at what point the
driver picked up his unusual consizn-
ment could not be learned last night
The stTaugest part of the whole occnr-
renee is that the baby's presence in the
cart was not discovered until the load
was eInptied into the scow. 1t must
have been sleeping wheG the bearer of
the basket-its mother peTbaps-depOsi-

it, else its cries must have attracted the
attention of the driver. That it could

THE following endorsement of Presi-

is taken from the Pittsburgh Dispatch,

IVES ern Pennsylvania.
Il is instructive 10 observe how com
p'etely the troubles in regard to the
Northern Pacific indemnity land grant
have been removed by the utterance of
a few plain and unmistakabIe words by
the President. The counsel of that cor
poIation are reported to be IN Washing
ton, overhlwing with assurances that it
will do exactly what is wanted. While

dent" the company will at once make
its selection of indemnity land from un-
occupied territory, and release all other
lands. The only reason why it is has
not dome so heretofore was that Congress
omitted to appropriate money to gay for
the necessary surveys but now the com
pany will have the surveys made at its
own expense. This striking example of
conversion from what the company was
going to do SIX weeks ago, will strength
I'd the public impression that the Presi-

WILL Nor RALLY FOR BLAINE
Those who went out of the Republican
party when Mr.. Blaine was nominated
went never to return. They really had
no business in the Republican party
when they left it, no matter who might
be its nominee. Though the personal
character of Mr.. Blaine was made the
excuse 1t is 3 significant fact that all Of
these are in accord with the Democratic
par;y upOu nearly all important ques-
tiOns, and that the bonds which bound
them TO the Republican party were very
loose indeed. They clung to it through
habit, and because Of traditional prein.
dice against the Democratic party.
But now hat they have broken thps.
bonds it is not likely they will ever 90
back to party which they have moth
ing whatever in common. The revolt
against Blaine was really a revolt gainst

work or taking things easy, by some
means or other continually keeping
his memory ever fresh and green"
TO the annoyance of the Pinkston.a
statesman from Ohio who has got the
Presidential bee a huzzlng badly in his
bonnet. Sherman some time ago made
southern tour and started small
boomlet, but it was of premature birth,
weak and sickly, and must be kept alive
by the constant use of soothing syrup.
In order to keep breath in his boomlet
he announced last week IN a letter to
Lieutenant Governor Smith, of Illinois,
that he would be in Springfield, the capi-
tai of that State on the first Of June
next, to address the Republicans of IlII-
nOis, both in and out of the Legislature.
1, must be borne in mind thai his letter
was in response to an Invitation sent
him by less than half the Republican
members of the Illinois Assembly,
majority of whom refused 10 sign the
letter requesting his attendance. But
Sherman must get before the people and
although a majority of the Springfield
Republicans do not want him, he will be
there. As neither Blaine, Sherman, or
any other Republican will have any show
for an election. it may be well enough
for ths 3-puJlicans to let both Blaine
and Sherman make all the Eoise they
can.
